Studied Level 3 UPS course and was taught nothing that I already knew. Teacher was very controlling and every time I made a complaint about something, the staff always found a way to turn it around and make it my fault. Would not recommend - go elsewhere.
Went to the college today for a one day course and asked the receptionist where I had to go and she said you should remember where to go and they know i have moderate learning difficulties. Would never recommend them to anyone
This college is absolutely terrible with attending myself and my younger brother now attending currently. A teacher grabbed and man handled my brother all because he didn’t have his lanyard! I called the college to complain and the staff were extremely unhelpful and unapologetic, it didn’t really seemed like they cared! So if you care about your child’s well-being do not send them here.
Andover College is a place of opportunities. I am so happy about the experience of studying at Andover College, as the staff is always willing to support and meet your goals if you want to succeed. During my studying period at Andover College, the teachers prepared me for GCSE English Language and helped me to pass it in four months, even though English was my second language. Our common persistence and hard work enabled me to sit my exam successfully. Especially, I am grateful for teachers' desire to prepare me in their spare time outside the lessons. Andover College will always meet your intentions and help to achieve your goals. Personal support is highly developed at this college.
2nd Covid jab at the Lights, very well organised, and well done to all the support volunteers.
The college has a bit of a reputation from its history although nowadays it is very welcoming to anyone and has a friendly atmosphere with good teaching.
I had a fantiastic time at Andover College, I studies four A levels there for 2 years (Media,English,History and Photography) and have never met such supportive staff in my life. There's such a community feel around the campus as the relationships between both students and staff is so relaxed and friendly which made it a really fun place to learn in. During my second year I struggled to get in for a lot of my lecturers due to personal circumstances and my lecturers made the effort to Skype me in to their lessons when I was unable to attend in person and give me evening and weekend tutoring which was incredible, and is a really a credit to them as I left college last year with A,B,B,C! :D I would highly recommend this college to anyone and it just keeps getting better and better!
I went to this college to study Hair Dressing in Level 1 we were forced to do Beauty therapy as well as Hair Dressing. Which was very frustrating! The hole year was disorganised especially in PSD (Personal Social Development), which was not at all related to Hair Dressing. We had to restart the hole year of PSD 6 weeks before the end of the academic year and had to rush all the work in order to pass which was mainly our tutor writing and us copying as there wasn't enough time to finish otherwise. When going on to the second year I was unsure as to go on to another year of stress and disorganisation but was assured it would be different for the following year. I applied to go back and it got a bit better but still lacked in areas. We were made to go over and over the same thing we had learn the year before and the same things we had just learn. I felt so confused in theory and only just managed to pass some exams some I didn't. I didn't feel that we were able to get help easily instead when pointing out some concerns it started an argument with a very childish lecturer Debbie. Help was never at hand and I felt lost throughout my time there and felt as if I should quit the course before I failed anyway. I was again reassured that I would as long as I turned up. At the end of the year I didn't have enough time to finish and had two theory assignments remaining. I returned the assignments when finished. I finished college June/July time and I have only received Maths and English certificates and my PSD certificate from my first year! I still have not received my Hair Dressing certificates and when I called to ask where they were I was told all certificates were accounted for and to call again in 3 weeks if still not received! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE! STILL NO CERTIFICATES! PREPARED FOR LIFE! HOW AM I EVEN SUPPOSE TO GET A JOB WITHOUT CERTIFCATES!! JOKE JOKE JOKE! NEVER GO HERE!
